Mohan Samant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mohan B. Samant (1924 - Jan 22, 2004) was an Indian painter who spent most of his working life in New York. He trained at the Sir J. J. School of Art and was a member of the Bombay Progressive Artists' Group from 1950, moving permanently to America in the 1960s.
Samant was once named as being among the "hundred leading artists in the world today" (actually a list of 102 names) in a 1963 project commissioned by Lord Beaverbrook and reported in Time magazine.[1]
His work is included in prestigious collections such as the Smithsonian Institution. [2]
